ABOUT THE PROJECT
Whispers from the Anchor is a psychological thriller/mystery set in a rich, original fantasy world. It follows a rogue "Free Thinker"—a former Time Mage—who uncovers a buried conspiracy involving gods, memory, and the manipulation of time itself. Presented as recovered voice-crystal recordings, the show features immersive narration, eerie audio effects, and a dark, twisty narrative. Think The Magnus Archives meets Welcome to Night Vale, but with fantasy lore, magical tech, and ancient secrets. This podcast is tied to the upcoming fantasy novel Awakening the Seablade and set in the world of Trexlin (www.trexlin.net).

  • S1E1 - Update

    All - just a quick note. Ep1's post production is taking a bit longer than I expected. I'm trying to get the correct audio effect for the time crystal playback scenes. Im narrowing it down right now. But the final cut should still be this week.

    Also - a quick note - Ive received a few of the audio files for Ep2. I'd appreciate it, for those of you who havent, if you could try and get the lines to me by the end of this weekend if at all possible.
